Ingredients
  • 3 lb pork loin (trimmed of excess fat)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 23.5 ounces can pineapple chunks (with juice)

Equipment

  • slow cooker
  • large pan

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Trim pork loin of excess fat and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the pork loin and brown it on each side for 2-4 minutes or until golden.
  3. Add the pork to the slow cooker and rub with minced garlic. Add soy sauce and pineapple chunks with pineapple juice to the slow cooker. Distribute the brown sugar evenly over the top of the pork.
  4. Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours for a soft pork loin that can still be sliced.
  5. If you want extra soft pork to make shredded pineapple pork, cook it on low for 8-10 hours, lifting the lid a few times and using a ladle to pour the juices over the pork to keep it moist. After you shred the pork, add it to the slow cooker and cook it on low for another hour.
  6. Serve and enjoy!
